I don't quite get your point. Are you trying to shield your children from the fact that people who aren't married do live together? Wouldn't it be better, rather than trying to give them such a sheltered life, to discuss living arrangements, or whatever, with your children and tell them why you disagree, or agree, with those actions? I've raised my son to be aware of as much out there as possible, and hopefully given him the tools to make informed decisions in accordance with our values about his life and how he wants to live it. I can assure that your children will find out about couples having premarital sex sooner or later.

Exactly. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people with the mindset of sheltering their kids from everything they don't like are hoping that by the time their kids grow up, they'd have succeeded in getting the government to ban all those things, and get them all listed as capital offenses.

see post 270, as poorly crafted as it may be.

Children learn from example, if you accept garbage in the living room, most of your children will have garbage in their livingrooms.
